Michael Gableman has run one of the most disgustingly vile and dishonest campaigns in as long as I can remember, and in doing so he’s exposed himself as supremely unqualified and unfit [...] Two weeks ago today, I spent some time blogging about the rather bleak state of the U.S. economy. Among the economic indicators I highlighted were the following: Price of crude oil over $100 a barrel. National industrial output falls instead of increasing.
